nrgburst | The Mandalorian S1

So I finished the first season and it was... okay? Like it didn't make me have all the fannish feels the way I thought I might. The characters were a bit flat and two dimensional. I was also disappointed by how Ming Na Wen only appeared for a single ep and I have so many questions about Mandalorian culture now. Dinner parties are totally not a thing, I guess? Food, culture and relationships are so intricately linked for me, personally, that I don't even get how it works if everybody always has to hare off to their rooms to eat in private. Also: doesn't the inside of that helmet get whiffy AF? Don't they miss knowing the scent of things and places? Having peripheral vision? And do you have to keep the helmet on even when you're getting intimate with somebody? It all just seems so terribly strict and impractical that I don't understand how so many Mandalorians managed to keep their helmets. I would have been a barefaced Mandalorian from like, day 2.

Anyway, it was good enough that I will watch S2, which apparently will be out in Oct 2020.

And I made icons because The Child was just begging for them. He's just so cute and memeable! GIF ones are sized for DW and won't work on LJ, but the stills will work on both. :) As always, let me know if you have any requests!
